This broad area offers a comparative and integrative approach to exploring the development of nations, economic systems and trade, colonization, and cultural encounters among the people of Europe, Africa, and the Americas. The Lehigh libraries contain an extensive collection of rare books and published primary materials relevant to early American history and British history from the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries. The Bethlehem area is itself a rich resource and Lehigh has close working relationships with nearby libraries and museums. Industrial America In modern industrial societies, technology and science have been major forces for change. Lehigh University's graduate program emphasizes the process of American industrialization in a comparative framework and within the context of intellectual, social, cultural, business, labor, and political history. The history of technology itself is also an important area of study within the larger field of Industrial America. Because of Lehigh's strengths in the sciences, engineering, and business, there are many faculty with interests allied to the history of technology who participate in program events and teach related courses. This field is also closely linked to Lehigh's Building and Architectural Technology Institute and its Science, Technology, and Society program, which has gained a national reputation for its curriculum and for the symposia and publications of its Technology Studies Resource Center.
